Kathy Burson presents Growth Committee report

Today's program was a marvelous presentation by Kathe Gibb, Jill Hyde's neighbor. Kathe retired from the Westminster Library System. She volunteers her time to book groups and organizations that requests speakers. Her "Book Talk" included information about where to find great books, and she shared her personal favorites/ recommendations. The program was well received!

Annette Oakley conducted the chapter meeting which included wonderful reports and Just Incredible news to celebrate! Stay tuned for the draft minutes to be emailed to sisters.

We appreciate the gracious hospitality extended to us by Cindy Schreiber Huxley and the yummy treats provided by Vicky Hughes!
